Summary

Did you know that the City of London, the small mini-enclave that dates back to Roman times, is a separate state entity that predates the United Kingdom by hundreds of years? And that its special status makes it basically immune to disclosure rules and financial oversight? Well, sort of. Riley steps in to explain The Land of the Weird Bollards and much more. We offer one Britainology a month in addition to all the weekly TF bonus content for $5 a month, and if you desperately want more Britainology, there's also a second episode available each month on the $10 tier.

Hello and welcome to yet another edition of Britannology. It's me, Milo Edwards. I'm joined as

0:06.6

ever by my co-host, Nate Bithay. Hello, recording remotely today because much like Jeyer

0:12.6

Bolsonaro, I've been stricken by heaven and I'm lying on the couch feeling ill. I think I have

0:18.7

the opposite problem of Jair Bolsonaro, which is to say, well, let's not

0:23.6

get into that, but you can use your imagination of all the many ailments Jaya Bulsanaro has. Imagine

0:28.5

what the opposite of those might be, and you can guess. Yeah, Nate's looking good as hell.

0:33.0

Nate, I don't think that it's possible to have the opposite ailment of Jaya Bolsonaro, because Jaya

All of the ailments that are opposite from one another, he has.

guys, like even when they know they're going to be obligated to perform pushups in front of

1:20.9

people, like they just go, they seem to do zero practice at all. And so like they just look

1:25.7

like they're humping the ground. And it's, it's wild to me, man. Like, dude was in the army. Like, I'm sure they do correct flexos in

1:33.4

the Portuguese army, the Brazilian army or the Portuguese army too, either, you know? It's just wild
